Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0334691A1] The wheel (1) comprises, in a known manner, a wheel support (4) mounted pivotably about a substantially vertical axis (5) close to the mid plane of the wheel, by way of articulation means, at least one of which is carried by an oscillating arm or triangle (6, 7) connected to the chassis of the vehicle via a substantially horizontal oscillation axle (9, 12). The device comprises a rotary actuator (14) having as its axis of rotation the pivoting axis (5) of the wheel and constituting the articulation means of the wheel support (4) carried by the oscillating arm (7). The rotor of the actuator (14) is integral in rotation with the wheel support (4). The stator is connected to the oscillating arm (7) via articulation means (15, 16). A box (37) enables the actuator (14) to be controlled as a function of the driving parameters of the vehicle. The pivoting device is independently controlled and includes no mechanical transmission element. <IMAGE>
